Clarity is improved from the rep crystal. Not a huge deal, like the cherry on top. Have you tried to source a newer noob clasp? Ryan from intime or another TD may be able to source something nice for a fair price until you can source the gen clasp.
Again, great watch. Nothing beats the gen bezels! Wear it in good health
Pictures at the beginning of the thread are from my first franken tt gmtc build. I regrettably sold it which is what lead me to this build. That first franken build specs were as follows:
X BP TT GMT IIc X Gen 18k Gold Bezel X Gen Ceramic Gold Insert X Gen Bezel Assembly X Rep Noob TT 18k Clasp X Gen AR Crystal X Gen 18k Gold Crown X TC Tube (Gen tube was used in this build) Labor Required PBDad Superlume (match dial and hands) PBDad Assembly Movement Service
Getting quiet a few PMs regarding the bracelet so I'll answer the questions here.
Yes this is a gen TT bracelet off of a 116613. The bracelet fit the BP case with no modifications. There is zero gaps between SEL and lugs. I mean ZERO, lol. It fit super super tight, perfect really.
I have a gen crystal and bezel assembly just waiting for install. I'll be posting all build related details here. Thanks for the interest!
You'd be surprise how much I have into it. Not as much as many would think. It'll be built for less then my original franken TT . I've nab some GREAT deals on these parts. Many more pictures to follow!
